TPG currently stands as the second largest internet service provider (ISP) in Australia, and is a force to be reckoned with in the telecommunications industry. Its rapid growth is mainly attributed to strategic acquisitions it has made in recent years. One of those acquisitions was iiNet, an ISP that boasted high customer satisfaction and respect in the community.

A year after TPG bought iiNet, the situation looks bleak for the ISP that was once the darling of the telco industry. Most recently, iiNet's Sydney office was shut down, most of its staff made redundant. We spoke to one former iiNet employee to get the insider story on the aftermath of the TPG acquisition. We also spoke with iiNet, to get its side of the story.

Over the summer in Tibet, two enormous avalanches struck the Aru Glacier back-to-back. Now, after several months of careful study, scientists think they have identified the cause of the first ice slide, which claimed the lives of nine nomadic herders.

In the latest iOS update, Twitter killed the last feature that made the platform usable — the @-reply. Goodbye, "don't @ me." Hello, "literally can't @ me."

Video: The first international trailer has arrived, and it's much better than the US one! There's a lot less high school and a lot more Spider-Man in there, plus more villains (including the Shocker), more action, better music — it actually has a lot of the same footage, but it's edited in such a way to make Homecoming look like a much more exciting movie. Look, watch them both, and you'll see what I mean.
